grey alley

Jiang Tan asked Pei Xiqing to be a model at his home, and picked up a paintbrush to draw, Jiang Tan suddenly smiled.

There is no one in his house, and now he has already gone out to live alone, Pei Xiqing turned around from his distraction and asked, "Why are you suddenly laughing?"

"Remember when we first met?"

"remember."

"I asked you to be my part-time model. Actually, I had ulterior motives. I don't know if you felt it at that time."

"..."

"I still have that painting." After Jiang Tan said that, he got up and rummaged in his pile of things, and finally found a picture album from a cabinet - it was bound with sketches.

He unfolded it for Pei Xiqing to see.

This should be a painting almost four years ago. At that time, Pei Xiqing had just come out of the valley to work and pay back the money. In order to save more money, he agreed to be Jiang Tan's model.

The person in the painting lowered his eyes, still with that casual look, as if he was sniffing the ginger flowers on his shoulders, Jiang Tan smiled and pointed at him in the painting, "Look, is it almost exactly the same as you now? , At that time, you still said that you were not like the people in this painting, that you were black, and not as good-looking as the people in this painting."

Pei Xiqing looked at it for a while, and finally admitted, "It is indeed."

Almost the same as he is now.

"Is my vision particularly good?" Jiang Tan cheered up, and used a paintbrush to add a silver thing to the left ear of the person in the painting. It was an earring.

"It's exactly the same now."

Pei Xiqing smiled and said sincerely, "You are really amazing."

Now that time has passed, and it has been four years, is this considered to be foreseen?

What he said made Jiang Tan feel embarrassed, put down his brush and album and moved closer, looked at Pei Xiqing seriously, and let his hair hang down behind his ear, "Xiqing, I have something to say to you."

"Huh?" Pei Xiqing blinked.

The sun came in from the window, and the curtains were blown up by waves. Jiang Tan looked at him: "We have been together for two years, and I have been looking for opportunities to talk to you. Actually, I like you very much. Seriously," he pinned the hair behind his ear: "You...do you want to try with me?"

Pei Xiqing opened his mouth——

"Try first, okay? Don't rush to reject me," Jiang Tan smiled, and stopped what he was about to say with his index finger, "For example, start with this kiss?"

He kissed Pei Xiqing and opened his lips slightly as he was about to say something, with a smile in his eyes, but his actions were almost irresistible.

"I know you have been aware of it for a long time, and I know that you have no will for me," Jiang Tan pushed the hair on his forehead, "but please give me a chance, please?"

------

Lu Mingzhou pressed the twitching forehead and took a sip of coffee, the whole study room was filled with the aroma of coffee.

Today I rested, I thought I could relax for a day, but I fell asleep too late last night, tossing and turning, it was difficult to fall asleep, and I woke up early again today, so I had a long-lost migraine.

This is a problem that has only occurred in the past two years. When I first took over the company, I was under a lot of pressure and didn't sleep much. Over time, I started to have migraines.After Gao Jiayao found out, he ordered him to rest at home for a while, and then slowly recuperated.

For some reason in the past two days, this problem suddenly reappeared, and the sense of existence was brushed over and over again, but it was not so severe and hard to bear, but it was a bit annoying.

Last night he learned that the little grandson whom the Jiang family recognized two years ago returned from abroad not long ago.

Pei Xiqing is back.

When he thought of this news, he couldn't sleep, and his fingers unconsciously stroked the plain ring on his left hand.

He wanted to come over to see how the person he hadn't seen for two years was doing now, and what changes had taken place in his body, but when he thought of the vaguely repulsive attitude of the Jiang family couple towards him, he couldn't help hesitating. Feeling so indecisive.

After all, they separated for two years, maybe to Pei Xiqing now, he is already a stranger.

However, before he could make a decision, Pei Xiqing was led by Jiang Wei to other places to see his family's other properties within a few days.

It took them nearly two months to come back, and then Jiang Wei directly arranged for Pei Xiqing to work as a small assistant in the company.His starting point is very low, limited by education and work experience, but it also includes his own requirements.

Some things need to be understood before you can know whether you are suitable for doing it.Pei Xiqing has little contact with management, so he can only try to understand it first.

After joining the company for more than a month, Jiang Wei began to arrange various project assessments specifically for him, including many things related to management outside the scope of job duties. He admitted that he might be a little impatient, but Pei Xiqing started Very fast.

This made Jiang Wei very pleased.

Because when he used to force Jiang Shuwang to learn these things, he was fooled by the other party's various gags, unwilling to learn, and only indulged in all kinds of sensual things every day, always thinking that even if the sky fell, he and his mother would stand up together Standing, like a child who can't grow up.

Thinking of Jiang Shuwang, Jiang Wei felt a little sad.

Since Jiang Qianxue left that day, both he and Mrs. Jiang have not had a good time. The child left a long-lasting scar on their family, reminding them every moment of what was missing in this family. Mrs. Jiang's mental state was declining, so to fill the void, they had a second child.

When Jiang Shuwang was born, Mrs. Jiang was already an elderly woman. She suffered a lot for this child, and nearly lost half her life. So after Jiang Shuwang was born, they almost treated him like an eyeball to hurt him. .

The most important thing is that Jiang Shuwang is a mentally normal child, his emotions are stable, and from his eyes, he can see the warmth, curiosity and dependence that a normal child should have.He will not be hysterical for no reason, he will not lose his temper at them capriciously, he will not throw a cup, smash the potted plants on the balcony, and he will not deliberately use just to attract their attention. Boil hot water to scald the parrots that have been raised at home for several years.

Jiang Shuwang was different from Jiang Qianxue, so they spoiled him to the sky, making him a 29-year-old boy who was still childish.

"Grandpa," he was brought back to his senses by a voice, and he saw Pei Xiqing sitting across from him, holding a corner of the information page between his fingertips and looking at him, "This is the solution I wrote for that problem, what do you think? Are there any deficiencies that need to be corrected?"

"The proposal you gave is too idealistic. The turnaround during the implementation process will definitely take some time longer than planned, and production will be delayed. If the batch of goods comes out a few days later than expected, how will you explain to your customers?"

Pei Xiqing thought for a moment, then pointed to a certain production link, "This place can be changed to a handover model, which can save some time, and also, there is one less middleman in the operation here."

"Oh?" Jiang Wei looked at him seriously this time, and said a little seriously, "What do you think we should do?"

While thinking, Pei Xiqing wrote and drew on the paper. He expressed his thoughts, and then proposed a relatively complete solution to this problem. Jiang Wei couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Very well, I will give you some authority for this matter. You can complete it independently or seek help from the company, but I want to see how your operation is done. I will evaluate the results after the matter is completed."

"Okay." Pei Xiqing accepted the task.

After half a month, he came back with a beautiful result.So Jiang Wei paid more attention to his training.

A few days later, it was Pei Xiqing's rest day, and Jiang Tan proposed to go out with him on a date, calling it a day to cultivate feelings and relax by the way.

Pei Xiqing asked him where he wanted to go, Jiang Tan thought about it, and said: "You have to rest during the day, why don't we go out to watch a movie at night." There is no need to eat, because he knows that with Pei Xiqing He still has a long way to go, and every step he takes has to be figured out slowly. If he takes up too much of the opponent's time at once, it may sometimes have a counterproductive effect.

"Okay." Pei Xiqing closed the picture book in his hand, propped his chin in a bit of trouble, and said, "Let me know when you've made a decision."

Jiang Tan inexplicably wanted to touch his head.

On that day, Pei Xiqing slept until evening and was woken up by the alarm clock. Mrs. Jiang told him to finish dinner, and watched Jiang Tan pick him up.It was about eight o'clock when we arrived at the cinema.The movie on the big screen was kicking off, and the jumping black and white images blurred the auditorium. Jiang Tan led Pei Xiqing to find a seat in the dark, and pulled out two cups of Coke and popcorn as if by magic, "Come on."

Pei Xiqing smiled, picked up a piece of popcorn and put it in his mouth, "It's pretty well prepared."

"Naturally," Jiang Tan handed him the Coke, "I heard that this movie is very convincing. I've been wanting to watch it before, but I didn't find the opportunity. Today I can count it as coming."

Pei Xiqing asked casually, "What's your name?"

"Midstream."

Pei Xiqing felt a little familiar, and not long after the movie opened, he saw the familiar second son and the familiar little yellow duck, as well as the dazzling flower building and the charming red-clothed proprietress in the flower building.

"..."

Jiang Tan looked at it very seriously, and had been studying the Fuhua Dao and various color schemes in the movie. He admired for a long time, "It's really beautiful," he pointed to the appearance of the proprietress lowering her eyebrows and blinking with a lazy smile on the big screen , "The outfit and makeup on her should be the most thoughtful in the whole drama, and the beauty is very impactful." The glamorous, slutty, seemingly lazy softness hides ruthlessness.

"She is so beautiful when holding a knife." Jiang Tan sighed softly.

Pei Xiqing stared at the screen for a while in the dark, and said, "The actor for this role is a man."

"Ah?" Jiang Tan was taken aback, almost spilling the Coke.

"Although he is handsome, he is a real young man," Pei Xiqing smiled. "He even has a daughter now."

Surprised by Pei Xiqing's reminder, Jiang Tan broke out of that fixed thinking and noticed the subtle changes in the boss's taller stature and outline than ordinary women.

"How do you know?" Jiang Tan was a little curious, whether he had seen it before.

"Yes, it was a coincidence," Pei Xiqing said slowly, "I have a deep impression of this character..." Very deep.

Coming out of the theater, the two went to the underground garage. Jiang Tan was still thinking about the ending just now, consciously or not, he rubbed his face, "This ending...is quite unexpected."

Pei Xiqing smiled at him, "I think so too."

The garage was very quiet, with no one left or right. If Pei Xiqing didn't smile deliberately, the corners of Pei Xiqing's lips would be very shallow. His eyes were where the smile was the strongest. They were slightly curved, like a handful of rippling water, dimmed Such a reflection of the lights, vaguely makes people see some affectionate meaning.

Jiang Tan felt that he was caught by the laughter Gu just now, he took Pei Xiqing's forearm and gradually slowed down his steps.

Pei Xiqing said just now: "Why—huh?"

Jiang Tan caught off and kissed him.

The soft lips pressed together, and the lips were gently licked and teased by something extremely flexible. Pei Xiqing frowned slightly. I don't know if it was an illusion or something, but he saw Jiang Tan's back, the wall opposite the garage. A faint silvery light flashed behind it. Judging from the position and size of that height, it looked like a watch worn on the hand...or a ring or something.
